Charming...one Monopoly token has to GO!

ONE of Monopoly’s classic playing pieces is to be replaced, meaning it will never again pass GO!

One of these traditional Monopoly tokens could be scrapped after a vote

Fans can vote on which of the eight charm bracelet-style tokens – dog, racing car, top hat, iron, thimble, shoe, battleship or wheelbarrow – should be axed after up to 80 years on the board.

They can also vote on which item – out of a diamond ring, guitar, toy robot, cat or helicopter – should replace it. Kay Green, for makers Hasbro, said: “Monopoly tokens have become just as iconic as the Monopoly money, hotels or properties.

“Some of the current tokens date back to the 1930s but we felt it was time for an update, to make them more ­reflective of modern day life and aspirations.” Former US salesman Charles Darrow is credited with inventing the game, with his young niece purportedly suggesting he use pendants from charm bracelets.
